Brookside had its fair share of memorable storylines in its 2,915-episode run - and now fans are reliving their favourite soap again as the first batch of original episodes landed on STV player.
Affectionately known as 'Brookie,' the show was based in Liverpool and first hit our screens over 40 years ago on November 2, 1982. By 2003, the Liverpool-based soap was axed - but now, 20 years on from the last episode, it is possible to stream the soap from the start for the first time ever after STV Player struck a major new deal with distributor, All3Media International and it has already broken records as the fastest show to reach 1m streams on the platform.
Over the years, a number of families were at the centre of the biggest storylines. The Liverpool ECHO recently took a look back at the Grant family and where they are now - and now we're revisiting another of Brookie's most memorable families.
